15 For my people hath forgotten me: they burn incense to vanity; and they have caused them to stumble in their ways, the ancient paths, to walk in by-paths of a way not cast up;

16 to make their land an astonishment, a perpetual hissing: every one that passeth by shall be astonished, and shake his head.

17 As with an east wind will I scatter them before the enemy; I will shew them the back, and not the face, in the day of their calamity.

15 Yet my people have forgotten(A) me;
    they burn incense(B) to worthless idols,(C)
which made them stumble(D) in their ways,
    in the ancient paths.(E)
They made them walk in byways,
    on roads not built up.(F)
16 Their land will be an object of horror(G)
    and of lasting scorn;(H)
all who pass by will be appalled(I)
    and will shake their heads.(J)
17 Like a wind(K) from the east,
    I will scatter them before their enemies;
I will show them my back and not my face(L)
    in the day of their disaster.”
